MCA Approval for SSAS

In notifying Stolt-Nielsen Transportation Group of the award, Richard T. Kenney, Commandant of the US Coast Guard’s AMVER Maritime Relations Office, wrote, ‘The officers and crew members of the M/V Stolt Capability exhibited the professionalism and courage under adverse weather and sea conditions that is epitomised by the Lloyd’s List International Rescue at Sea Award.’ He added, ‘Your Company and your staff, both afloat and ashore, should be justifiably proud of this singular honour. Some 12,000 ships participate annually in the AMVER Safety Network.’

SeaGuard is fully compliant with SOLAS Regulation XI-2/6, which requires ships over 500gt to fit an SSAS. As an enhancement to SeaGuard, MarineTrack has partnered with maritime investigation and ecurity specialists Gray Page Limited to provide clients with an outsourced 24/7 emergency response service.
